re: Note to Out of State Alums

Dumbass, because it draws a significant number of the offspring of LSu grads who left the state thus keeping that family's connection to Louisiana, their families Alma mater and perhaps, no definitely, drawing kids from academic backgrounds beneficial to the school and Louisiana who otherwise would not come. Also, a percentage of those will connect with their roots in LA or find employment opportunities in the state by virtue of matriculating at LSU. Finally, they will serve as ambassadors for LSU to their friends and siblings around the country to areas where we are not as well known and/or get little respect like the Northeast, California, etc. Therefore chew on that and accept the fact you just said something retarded

So you left for work. Good for you. No one said don't or you are an arse for doing it. Fact is that you do not pay taxes to the state of Louisiana anymore. PERIOD. You are no longer a resident of the state, yet expect the state to give you a handout because you graduated from LSU.

What most of you choose to ignore is its this "family" mentality that has screwed the state of Louisiana on so many levels when it comes to state funding. LSU needs to do what is best for LSU. If there was so much "family" connection as you say, LSU alums would be giving more money to LSU rather than the TAF. Plain and simple.

Worst alumni donations in the entire SEC, yet highest or top of the ladder for donations to the athletic department. Got to love the priorties of Almuni.

Again, LSU is cutting budgets. This should've been cut way before now. There is no reason for it and other schools including the likes of Texas and UGA don't give that kind of break to out of state alumni.
